I think that’s what happens when snow bypasses the liquid stage and goes right to vapor because of the heat.

It's called sublimation, but water doesn't sublimate in atrmospheric pressure.

It is evaporating immediately (not sublimation). The pressure / humidity / temperature must be right enough to cause this. You can see the water glistening on the snow, but doesn't have time to drip before evaporating.

E: Oh fuck, I'm yellow now. Not wonder all the options look fucking different. I thought it was this subverse or whatever. Whelp, about time for a new account.

I'm yellow now

Is there an explanation to all the colors somewhere? I missed orientation.

"Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas state, without passing through the liquid state."

Water can do this but not in standard atmospheric pressure (14.7 psi)

611.66 pascals = 0.08 psi

That ice/snow ball would have to be in a vacuum to evaporate like the video. The real question is can you see water dripping from the ball? Maybe it's wicking off into his hand, I don't know.
